Jessops recently announces that it has signed a deal with Lucidiom to install and deliver over 1,000 kiosks at the leading photographic retailer’s 233 stores across the UK. The new kiosks and related software will compliment the recent launch of Jessops Jpics, “allowing consumers to enjoy the wider range of photographic products available from the service in-store,” the company said in a released statement.
The companies explained that Jessops’ partnership with Lucidiom is the first of its kind in the UK and marks a step in a new direction for photo kiosks nationwide. “Lucidiom is the world’s leading provider of brand independent photofinishing systems and their new kiosks will allow customers to enjoy a faster service, improved functionality and a more diverse product offering. Installation of the new kiosks will begin from October and all stores are set for completion within the next 12 months,” they explained.
Commenting on the partnership, Chris Carr, head of photo for Jessops said, “The launch of Jessops Jpics enhanced the digital imaging solutions available to our customers online and our partnership with Lucidiom now extends this experience to our customers in-store. As we continue to lead the photographic market we have every confidence that this partnership will satisfy consumer demand for personalized photographic products by making them available on the high street as well as on the web.”
